<st1:City w:st="on">VENICE</st1:City> BIENNALE SEEKS VIDEO IMAGES OF <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">SEOUL</st1:City></st1:place><br>
<br>
The Venice Architecture Biennale 2006 will focus on urbanism and the forces
that influence the built environment in very large cities—flows of
migration, of capital, and of urbanization. The exhibition will profile
eighteen cities from across the world. Each city portrait will include
historical information, visualizations of quantitative data, explorations of
some of its key urban challenges, and a projected video and sound collage. <br>
<br>
The aim of the video component is to present an impressionistic counterpoint to
other aspects of the exhibition. The idea is to go beneath the skin of the data
sets to present something of the sensory, experiential quality of each city.
Utilizing a variety of film, video and sound material from different
media-makers in different time periods will allow the video projections to
approach the pluralism of each city and the subjectivity of each urban encounter.
The aim of the video component of the exhibition is not to attempt a
comprehensive cross-section of points of view on any of the cities (as that
would be impossible) but rather to synthesize a diversity of voices and styles
to reflect each city's complexity. <br>
<br>
The Film/Video Project Manager is now accepting video footage and recorded
audio from local artists in each of the cities profiled. Moving images and
sounds that reference the human relationship to urban infrastructure, the
commercial and cultural by-products of migration and racial diversity (such as
shops, marketplaces, language & music) and the daily realities of city life
(such as commuting or gathering in public space) are particularly encouraged.
The contemporary images will be juxtaposed with archival film from the past 100
years to create a dynamic collage. <br>
<br>
Each video projection will be approximately three minutes in length, compiled
from a variety of sources both archival and contemporary. Each
collaborator’s name will be listed on a museum card (or equivalent) next
to the video projection. The Film/Video Project Manager would like to collect
four to five hours of unedited material on each city by March 15th, 2006. The
preferred format for video is mini-DV (PAL or NTSC). <br>
